1. A computer-implemented method to authenticate subscribers of a telecommunications network to access resources associated with the telecommunications network, the method comprising:
receiving, at a server associated with the telecommunications network, heartbeat information associated with a subscriber of the telecommunications network,
wherein the heartbeat information is captured by a heart monitor communicatively coupled to a mobile device of the subscriber;
accessing a cardiac signature of the subscriber of the telecommunications network,
wherein the cardiac signature uniquely identifies the subscriber of the telecommunications network,
wherein the cardiac signature includes multiple waves comprising at least two of a P-wave, a Q-wave, a R-wave, a S-wave, and a T-wave, and
wherein the cardiac signature includes at least one variable value based on a wave interval, a wave amplitude, a wave complex, or any combination thereof;
determining a match beyond a threshold probability between the received heartbeat information and the accessed cardiac signature of the subscriber of the telecommunications network;
when the match is determined between the received heartbeat information and the accessed cardiac signature, performing a first authentication,
wherein the first authentication authorizes the subscriber to use the mobile device;
receiving subscriber identity module (SIM) information associated with the mobile device;
based on the received SIM information, performing a second authentication,
wherein the second authentication authorizes the mobile device to access the telecommunications network; and
based on the first authentication and the second authentication, granting, to the subscriber of the telecommunications network, access to a resource associated with the telecommunications network.
